Enrich your wedding with your own creative use of Jewish ritual and tradition.
Wedding planning can be a stressful experience. Keeping track of all the details―deciding who to invite, choosing a caterer, arranging the reception―can sometimes lead to a couple forgetting about the bigger picture and the significance of this day in their lives: A joyous occasion that should reflect not only your personality, but your values, as well.
The Creative Jewish Wedding Book brings your complete wedding planning into focus. Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer helps you express your individuality and spirituality on your wedding day. Whether your plans are traditional or alternative, whether you are planning your first or second marriage, she provides the tools you need to look at and think about ritual and tradition in new and innovative ways.
Inspiring and useful, The Creative Jewish Wedding Book can help you reclaim your wedding day from the whirlwind of details and bring out the honesty and integrity you desire in your wedding experience.

“Courageous in its innovations while at the same time deeply reverent of tradition, this guide leads you through each step in planning a wedding with such spiritual joy that it cannot help but spill over into the ceremony, the celebration, and the marriage itself.”
―Rabbi Nancy Fuchs-Kreimer (Reconstructionist), author, Parenting as a Spiritual Journey: Deepening Ordinary & Extraordinary Events into Sacred Occasions
“A wonderful resource for couples and their loved ones. It creates a wedding as an intentional, joyful, inclusive event to be treasured for years to come. It is a true invitation to celebrate with bride and groom, a wonderful mitzvah in Jewish tradition.”

Hundreds of wedding books exist to help couples decide what food to serve or which music to play at their wedding - but what about those couples who desire more from their wedding than a pretty dress and gourmet cake. In The Creative Jewish Wedding Book, Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer goes beyond the facts, history and explanations of the Jewish wedding ceremony and instead focuses on using the ritual elements of the wedding to express the unique spirituality of the couple. Whether traditional or alternative, planning their first or second marriage, Kaplan- Mayer provides the tools any couple needs to create the most meaningful Jewish ceremony to fit their needs. The Creative Jewish Wedding Book addresses the "conscious" bride and groom, who are independent thinkers and are seeking spiritual honesty and integrity in their wedding experience.
